The guy did nothing for 2 weeks, taking Amoxicillin at the first sign of trouble may have fixed it immediately, and it wouldn't have made it worse. yes, its definitely not STD. he got it from the lady he sex and she admitted that she had a bacterial infection in her vagina and told him that she used med for it and should be ok by now.. well seems not ok by now. Also he said its getting better every week but obviously not fast enough. its 100% UTI I think this is why he chose Amoxicillin at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least, where is "here"? Bangkok Phuket Hospital. Has one urologist I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, one good one and a couple who also practice in other hospitals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your assertion that your friends "ailment" is definitely not an STD, is therefore puzzling. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) @problemfarang The lady who had sex with 'your friend' is not being honest. I suggest that you go to a good hospital and get an Sexually Transmitted Disease test, it might turn out to be much more serious than a bacterial infection. I don't think she even know what is the diff between bacteria, fungi and virus. So it's better to let a doctor do a proper lab test to determine what it is. Virus or fungi infection don't respond well to anti-biotics. Herpes and genital warts are caused by virus and not bacteria Edited April 22, 2021 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely to be serious but I agree it's unlikely a sex worker said she had a bacteria infection, often they are clueless so that part of the story is dubious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it is prescribed in SEA as if it is candy doesn't change that. (This goes for other fluoroquinalones as well). Edited 2 hours ago by JimmyJ i think most people never had the vision to begin with. lol The art of critical thinking died in the era BC (before Carlin) . Health subjects are just one more example how easily people are to lead , for the leaders to present the population with "facts" and dictate to the willing subjects what the correct way of being and staying healthy are. Then some of these subjects go on forums and quote their leaders and tell anyone with other ideas how misguided they are. As a few intelligent people have noted: there are very few interesting members left. The reason is simple. It can not be stated here, because that would be against the "rules" Ahhh, always those rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTI's are a bit of a weird middle ground. My step-daughter and I both managed to have the same UTI at the same time, and we definitely weren't having sex with each other. But my misses didn't get it. Cipro killed it for both of us with no adverse side effects. Edited April 22, 2021 by BritManToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, she has no symptoms anymore but is still spreading it around. Soon, his symptoms could be gone and he will do the same thing to other ladies. And so on, and so on. That is why it is important to be tested by a lab before and after treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for inflated price (guess you mean from a private hospital) there is almost never a requirement to obtain drug there as very few drugs here can not be bought from a public pharmacy.

After saying i dont need them he violently scribbled them off the list and opened the door for me to wait outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one size fits all answer.It completely depends.: - prescribed based on culture and sensitivity results? - other alternatives? - patient has used this class of drugs before without problem? - long or short treatment course?
